Do you have a favorite "inexpensive" rod?

I have a few extreme rods that I use and they work okay especially for the price.

My shimano sojourn rods are pretty good, and at a meer 25 bucks a piece, have both exceeded my needs.  I have 2 6'6 rod, one spinning, the other casting.  I love the way they feel, especially when you have a fish on!  They are tough!  Broke the tip on my spinning and just popped on another, it's now a 6'4-1/4", but still just as sensitive, as before.  Great rods, on the cheap!

I agree the BPS Crankin Sticks are nice rods. You can find them on sale during the year for under $30. I own a handful for full time use and as back ups.

Another vote for the BPS Crankin' rod.

My second place vote goes to the 7', M powered BPS Extreme XPS spinning rod.  I have this teamed with a Stradic 2500, and use it for casting jerks, cranks, and minnow baits to walleye (Ripsticks, Deep Little Rippers, Ripshads, Rogues, X-Raps, Grappler Shads, etc.).

I have a couple St. Croix Avid spinning rods that I picked up for $65 each.  I have to find any rod in that price range that can compare to them.  I can get that lucky again someday.

Yes, both Shakespear and Ugly Stick.

Both are a lot of fun and I catch a lot of fish using them on ponds and when just fishing to have fun.

my favorite cheap rod is the ugly stick.. hands down.

second is the all star instinct.

i just got a lighting rod, and i have to say i dont think it is as good as a i hear. i really dont like the guides, and it makes a funny noise when casting. i know these are a real big deal but i didnt really like it. im still looking for a rod around 40 bucks.
